Replicability

Yes. This work was initially defined a a minimum viable project among small tester groups in Oxford city and then taken to local communities in Venezuela as pilot projects. From the data/records obtained in these three years field implementation in one single country, GlamOre aims to elevate its capacity building in Tech Trasfer to support females at Regional level adjusting the format of the capacity building activities to local needs but maintaining its methodology & tools with increasing level of digitization in order to reach a wider number of beneficiaries in time.


Sustainability

1. it provides in a simple and practical way initiation to IP strategic use to female inventors that have never thought that their ideas were worth enough to be protected and prototyped; and 2. it can be applied in remote areas just making use of local resources, which allows to scale up demo sessions.


WSIS values promotion

Continuous and adult education, re-training, life-long learning, distance-learning and other special services, such as telemedicine, can make an essential contribution to employability and help people benefit from the new opportunities offered by ICTs for traditional jobs, self-employment and new professions. Awareness and literacy in ICTs are an essential foundation in this regard.
